Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement, and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement.

Sale on CoQ10

I know that some of you take CoQ10. I thought you might want to know that Puritan's Pride online site has started their winter sale. CoQ10 is on a special "BUY 2 GET 3 FREE". Then if you put in the code TAMR550 you get another $5 off which cancels out the $4.95 shipping.
My MDS says that research suggests 1200 mg of CoQ10(600mg in AM- 600mg in PM) may slow the course of PD. I'm giving it a try. He mentioned Puritan's Pride as a reliable source (as is Sam's Club). This is the lowest price that I've found, but If anyone notices a better price (at a reliable source) please share.

I have just begun taking CoQ10 yesterday. I had purchased it from Puritan's Pride. I have not been diagnosed with PD as of yet. For the past 35 years I have been taken a lot of supplements and done a lot of study. I even took the Clayton Holistic school course for my own knowledge. Our four children had allergies and no one I was related to was anywhere near healthy. I wonder if eating better (not perfect) and taking supplements (and still am) could make my symptoms harder to diagnose? I am grasping at straws, I suppose but I have nothing better to do today, maybe I can come up with a better activity tomorrow.

Vitacost is another place to check. However, I'm not sure about the quality, etc of COQ10 of any of these suppliers. My wife use the 1200 mg dose for about 3 years until her Parkinson's progression took a nose dive. Now she doesn't take any.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
